Hi. Welcome to my Double Decker Bus page.
The two Authentic English Double Decker Buses pictured above were imported from England by me and are used in a charter bus service in the San Diego County area providing transportation and tours.
They are both Bristol VR's one a 1967 and one is a 1968.The one on the right is from Nottingham and was used as a training bus. It is outfitted with extra turn indicators visible to the instructor and a left hand parking brake so that the instructor could have quick access to the brake.
The other is from Essex and was used as an overflow dining room for M and M Dining, a Fish and Chips restaurant.
The only modifications I have made is to remove some seats to add a lavatory and space for a wet bar for parties. Other than that, they still have left-hand doors and the driver sits on the right. They are both powered by Gardner engines mated to a 4 speed Fluid Flywheel type gearbox.
I have been in the charter bus business for about 15 years. I run packaged tours and general transportation. I am actually located in the border town known as Chula Vista about 12 miles south of downtown San Diego.
If you are Double Decker bus enthusiast and plan to be in the San Diego area e-mail me fordirections to my bus yard and come by for a visit.
Also if you haven't already, check out the London Bus Page on the internet.
